    Can't get bluetooth dongle to 'stick' in Big Sur

    Hi there, I have a 2018 Mac Mini (i7, 16GB, 512GB SSD). The internal bluetooth is unusable to connect to my Apple trackpad (interference probably made worse by the large number of devices plugged in to all available ports). I've been happily using a BT dongle in one of the USB ports on my...

    OS X (Re)starting a Mac gaming podcast - looking for some co-hosts!

    Hi all! Way back in the day (circa 2012) I restarted the InsideMacGames podcast, and after a few episodes, I renamed it to my own thing. This ran for 30+ episodes, ending sometime in 2015. Honestly, I never did much to promote it. But I had some fabulous co-hosts, and we had some very fun...

    Resolved I installed a dosdude Catalina patch and I want to get rid of it!

    Hi. I have recently installed a dosdude Catalina patch on an unsupported Mac and I want to remove it and get back to my old OSX El Capitan. The dosdude patch is performing lots of glitches and I don’t want it anymore. Is there anyway I can get back to my normal Mac?

    I have set my iPhone with iOS 14 to disable load remote images, yet, I still received images from one sender. This sender’s email is on my contacts if that matters. I am using apple Mail with my iCloud email account. How can I stop this one email from automatically loading images???

    CPU type is not support, can only run on Intel CPU

    Hi everyone, is there any solution for this problem? I want to install some plugin/app on my M1 Mac but its working only on Intel CPU Macs. I already have Rosetta but its not working. Probably because its not application but a .pkg installation file. Is there any chance to run this on M1 Mac?

    AirTag without U1

    Can anybody tell me why reviewers don't mention this? How will the AirTags work with devices that don't have the U1 chip? How will the precision finding operate? Will those devices lack that feature completely? Could someone clarify this?

    Is M1 app opening really that snappy though?

    I think the depiction of snappiness showed on video on today's event was misleading. I've been using M1 Mac Mini 16GB 256GB since it came out but when I open my apps, it nearly not as snappy as shown on apple's video. In my computer at least it takes half a second to open apps like messages etc...
